ABSTRACT:
An image forming device includes: an image carrier that carries an image; a development unit that develops, with toners, a latent image written on the image carrier; an intermediate transfer member to which the toner images formed on the image carrier by the development unit are primarily transferred; and a fixing unit that fixes, to paper, the toner images secondarily transferred from the intermediate transfer member. The image carrier and the intermediate transfer member are unitized to configure an image forming unit, and the image forming unit is disposed in a space sandwiched between the development unit and the fixing unit. The image forming unit further includes a loading/unloading allowing unit that allows the loading/unloading of the image forming unit.
